sawdust swIndlers.

New YORK, April l3.-The den of a
gang of sawdust swindlers was raided
to-day in West FOrty-seventh Street.
The place was in full operation and the
whole gang was arrested and locked up.
There were four of them. The pris-
oners are named Joseph Little, w. J.
Brown, Geo. W. Lesson and George
Plots. They were found making up cir
culars in express packagesOf alleged bo-
gus money and fitting out substitute
valises also supposed to be full of green
goods but in reality containing bricks
and paper. The house was brown stone
front directly opposite a police station.
The operators had two flats, one for
work and the other for bed rooms.
The police seized $1,000 in new crisp
bank notes, genuine Two men We're

vYimau's Remarks.

NEW YORK, April 14.-At the an
nual meeting of the Canadian club last
evening Erastus Wiman, who was re-
elected president of the club, made an
address in which he referred to the
present relations of the United States
with Canada. Mr.. Wiman thought it
was almost impossible to over-estimate
the Importance of occurrences of the
next few weeks. He thought that if
the object sought by Canada in her
strict enforcement of the exactiOns
of an obsolete regulation and
the denial to American vessels the
privileges enjoyed by Canadian vessels
the world over was the payment by the
United States of an award similar to
the Halifax award, it ought to be I'M
deTstoOd once for all that the Ameri-
can people will never grant any such.
There is no way to adjust successfully
the relations of the two countries, Mr..
Wiman thought, but by means of thor
ough reciprocity between them, such as
suggested by the bill before congress
offered by Mr. Butterworth of Ohio.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, April l5.-Ben
Brown was hanged at 11:17 this morn
ing for the murder of Frank Arnold.
He died protesting his innocence. The
murder was a deliberate cold blooded
affair. About six miles from the city
lived quiet old colored farmer named
Frank Arnold. Just over the hill on
an adjoining place lived Ben Brown, a
renter. Arnold had a law suit with his
neighbor and some i'll feeling resulted.
Bill Brown, one of the party, turned
states evidence; he said, November 9,
Ben Brown, Nelson and Foster Joslyn
and Simon Fox went on coon hunt.
When they reached a thicket, Simon
Fox, who was carrying gun, fired at
Uncle Frank. He did not fall. Ben
hit him on the head with an iron bar.
Witness claimed he was hired to watch
and received two buckets full of meal
and peck of turnips for his services.
The body was carried into a pasture,
where q grave was dug. The follow
ing night the body was removed to
stable, decapitated, dismembered,
brought to the city and buried in tan

A Storm Brewing.

NEW YORK, April ia special
from Ottawa, Ontario, says: Already
storm is brewing in the dominion par
lament over the government course
on the fishery question. Peter Mitch
ell, member. of parliament, formerly
minister of marine and fisheries under
Sir John A. Macdonald, is now found
on the opposition side of the house, and
in matters pertaining TO the difficulty
between this country and the United
States over the rights of American
fishermen, is at variance with the adj
ministration. Early next week he will
attack the government. The policy of
the liberals will be pointed out by Mr.,
Blake tomorrow evening and he will
be followed later by Mr.. Mitchell and
a. Jones of Halifax. The course which
Mr.. Blake and his party will take is
that American fishing vessels which
have caught their cargo outside of the
three-mile limit, having the proper
permits from their own government to
touch and trade, are entitled to all the
privileges of ordinary trading vessels
in Canadian ports.

Drug store Burned.

MILWAUKEE, April 15.-Shortly be-
fore IL O'Clock fire broke out in the
wholesale drug store Of Charles Baum
bach & Co., on Market square near st.
Charles hotel, and the building is now
in ruins. The fire originated in the
cellar, where two clerks were engaged
in getting out goods to fill orders. A
varniSh barrel burst and instantly there
was an explosion and a fash of flame.
Rudolph label, one of the clerks, was
quickly taken out, in a dying condi-
ton. His companion, John Weber,
was thrown some distance and badly
hurt, but will recover. The instant
the explosion occurred the employees on
the upper floors rushed out of the build
ing, which soon became a mass of
seething flames. The fire found the
roof through the elevator shaft, and
although the central fire station is only
block distant, when the firemen ar
rived the doomed building could not
be entered. The heat was intense and
the fire for some time threatened the
cigar mandatory of Nick Simon. The
flames are now under control. The
building was owned by Rudolph Nun
nemacher and cost so, GOO; insured for
SIS 600. The loss on stock is $3.50, 900;
insurance. S75. 900.

prtv,ng the Mormons.

NEW YORK, April l5-A Raleigh
special says party of Mormon elders
came from Tennessee into the western
part of this state some weeks ago.
They at once began work in making
converts, particularly among the wo-
men. This created great indignation
on the part of the people. In parts of
Buncomb and Henderson counties an
organization fully Differed has been
effected for the expulsion of these
Mormons. The latter have been duly
notified to leave Immediately and If
they do not, tar and feathers will be
used and perhaps worse punishment
inflicted. The people are in earnest
and determined to expel them. Par
ties of MormOns have been at work in
the mountain section here and there
were some of them nearly beaten to
death and driven into Georgia by the
indignant people

CHICAGO, April ia special from
Springfield, Illinois, says: A reporter
learned last night from Mr.. Bailey, the
united labor member from East St.
Louis, whose assassination was at
tempted short time ago, that detec-
tive who has the case in hand will
make some arrests within two or three
days. He has located a gang or secret
oath-bound lodge in Chicago, one of
whose members did the shooting. In
fact, it is said he has uncovered group
of nine Nihilists whose headquarters
for the past six months has been in
Chicago, and the drift of disclosures,
though as yet unauthenticated, point
to the Chicago organization of fifty
four members, or six groups of nine
member each, formed for the purpose
of wreaking vengeance in case all hope
of saving the condemned anarchists is
lost, and that one of their number, act
ing upon orders of the group to which
he belongs, made an attempt upon the
life of Bailey, as his action in the leg
islature regarding the Neebe funeral
was considered great injury to the
case of the anarchists now before the
supreme court.

PITFsBURG, Penn. April l4.-Some
new points in the wholesale Pan Han
die railroad robbery were developed
to-day. The detectives having the
matter in charge are very reticent. but

say: Considering the embarrassment

timony that the retaiLtrade is unusual
IL large. No embarrassment appears in
collections except where real estate or
mining speculation took up all the
available means or in some localities
where bad roads still block business,
but in most cases improvement is re-
ported The remarkable activity is
clearly connected with the exceedingly
plentiful supply of money which is
more abundant where some need was
previously reported. while at many
points, as at Memphis. money was
never so abundant before. Rates rise
to 10 per cent or to 10 only at some
